DELTA A3 Problem Solving Canvas
In today’s data-driven and BI-focused transformation initiatives, organizations often face complex challenges in aligning technology decisions with business value. These challenges are not merely technical but strategic — requiring clarity of objectives, stakeholder engagement, and measurable outcomes.
The DELTA A3 Problem Solving Canvas is a practical, structured tool designed to help organizations navigate technology and process improvement decisions with rigor and clarity. Inspired by Lean principles and problem-solving methodologies like PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act), it guides teams through identifying problems, analyzing root causes, evaluating alternatives, and defining actionable solutions.
Why we recommend it for data & BI-driven transformation
- Aligns Technology with Business Outcomes: Rather than letting technology drive decisions, the canvas ensures that upgrades or replacements are justified by clear business goals and measurable impact.
- Encourages Critical Thinking & Objectivity: By explicitly asking users to leave bias behind and consider root causes, it helps avoid superficial solutions and fosters fact-based decision-making.
- Promotes Stakeholder Engagement: By nominating early adopters, setting goals, and defining responsibilities (e.g., with a RACI matrix), it ensures the right people are involved at the right time.
- Facilitates Continuous Improvement: The canvas embeds feedback loops, review sessions, and impact assessments to refine solutions over time.
- Provides a Common Language: Like other strategic canvases (e.g., Business Model Canvas, AI Strategy Canvas), it serves as a shared framework for cross-functional teams to align around.
With organizations increasingly relying on data and business intelligence to make decisions, this canvas helps ensure those decisions are deliberate, transparent, and strategically sound — avoiding the common trap of “technology for technology’s sake.”

Visual Planning Board (VPB)
Plans are good. But visual planning boards – and the transparency they enable – are better.
